What classes should I teach as an Infantry Team Leader? If you could go back, what do you wish your old TL/SL would have taught you?

I am becoming a Team Leader pretty soon, and I need some advice. What classes could I teach my team/squad other than the typical, Battle drill 1-8(classroom, walk through & changing leadership roles), TLPs, land nav. (basics), and how to operate/assemble radios and weapons.
I feel like as a joe, I never had that Team Leader I always wanted to be like, because most of my old Team Leaders wouldn't teach classes and would tell us to go to our rooms and I definitely don't want to be that TL. I also think I am really far behind compared to some E-5 with Ranger Tabs, TLs from Ranger Regiment etc.
Thanks.

Please to this website. This is the Skill Level 1 Soldiers with the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) of 11B (Infantryman), trainers, training developers, and first-line supervisors. The Army made the Individual Critical Task List so Soldiers know what they need to train on. This list is everything that your Soldiers need to know and that you should be training them on. There is also a Individual Critical Task List for a 11B skill level 2 for you. It will tell you what you should know. This document also has links to how to correctly train and evaluate the task.
I will warn you that do not waste your time and the time of your Soldier with training that you can not evaluate. It is pointless and dangerous. This will also develop you in how to understand training and developing training plans for SL 1. If you need any assistance you can message me.

The basics. Download a copy of the Soldier Manual of Common Tasks, there is an Army one and a specific 11B one, those are what you should work on. Line it up with what is coning up on the training calendar. Have a defense lane coming up? Fighting positions and sector sketches. Have a live fire? Manuever your team, direct fire control measures. And weapon employment.
